Comment:

anyones knows how to load a program for example key.com to config.sys? or a possible bat file command that allow me to add it to the 1st line autoexec.bat without replacement.
also, does boot disk bypass all config.sys, autoexec.bat, msdos.sys etc in harddisk? or does it load anything from the harddisk at all?

Prince,

Consider trading part of your realm for a DOS book.

as for config.sys:
INSTALL(HIGH)=[PROGRAM]
for autoexec.bat:

REN C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.OLD
ECHO LH [PROGRAM]>C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
TYPE C:\AUTOEXEC.OLD>>C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
DEL C:\AUTOEXEC.OLD

and yes, bootdisks bypass everything from the hard disk. no, they load nothing from it unless told to.

apart from all this, have you ever considered posting all your questions in one single post? or replying to your other posts? you could run this bloody forum alone with the amount of posts you make.

The files you sent me will not do what you want. I'm not exactly sure how I can get this across to you, you will need to go into BIOS set-up and change the boot sequence.
I can re-phrase it if necessary or maybe even translate it for you.
In the time it's taken you messing about trying to find a non existent easy way you could probably have had it done by now.

Does someone actually pay you to do this btw?
